I'm pretty sure DS went through a stage like that at her age. And he did get over it, most of it was because he wanted to do so much more independent stuff than I would let him because he wasn't ready for it. He's nearly 4 now and he's getting to be a pretty good kid (apart from the occasional whinge session!)

DD1 on the other hand - now she's painful!!! Hurting her siblings etc.

I can't remember how we survived it with DS, every day just seemed to be a nightmare, then every second day, then every third day - now its probably a day a month that he is really bad. I tried to give him lots of activities to do, or if all else failed - sent him outside to play!!! lol

So no advice from me - just lots of sympathy and hugs. xoxox
